Indications are that there were drones overhead, and possibly a gunship. There was a rapid reaction force within reach, in addition to the carrier group.

Interestingly enough, the head of Africa Command at the time of Benghazi has also been recalled and replaced.

According to rdax:
The information I heard today was that General Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.

General Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.

It appears the US Navy has borrowed the concept of a "political Officer" from the old Soviet Union.

Don't be surprised it Obama emulates his hero and purges 1/3 of the military high command.

AP has the info — But WILL they PRINT IT?

God help this great nation. Tell everyone above 18 that is breathing to get in to vote for R/R. We must save our country.

Yes, this is all very strange. The AFRICOM head and now this Admiral in some strange wording of inappropriate judgment.

Whatever are they trying to get away with, I think they will not succeed.

There’s also a replacement of Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, USMC, from NATO Forces in Afghanistan. Two O-10’s and an O-7 - what other Flag-ranks are getting kicked?

Looks like the chain of command in breaking down.

How soon will it be when Obama will even lose the military ?

One of the first things President Romney should do is reinstate Gen. Ham to his command or even promote him.
